Dry Falls Cellars Winery


I go over on a perfect late fall day. Temperature near 70º. No wind. Big blue sky. I do some weeding in the entry landscaping. It’s the first day of deer hunting season, and my neighbor knocks off early to head north for a couple hours with his buddy and his guns. On the way out of town that afternoon I happen to see a "Wine Tasting" sign for Dry Falls Cellars off Highway 17 in Moses Lake. http://www.dryfallscellars.com/. I wind around through the industrial buildings next to the airport and come across the winery just as another load of grapes is coming in from the Wahluke Slope. I meet Jim & Jonathon, brothers-in-law. I sample a couple of their wines and tell them about my project. They share what information they can, and it seems like the beginning of a friendship. I would like to have someone with some experience to help out. But I realize that if I’m going to get a vineyard started, I’m probably going to have to do it myself.
